Our DNA

Seemingly out of the unknown

where no one could even hear

is where you’re held most dear

and where billions have grown

Multiplying with every passing second

a vast information highway so minute

computes information seemingly out of air

wrapped in the DNA that two people share

Coiled information with nothing amiss

its genetic code causing shape to appear

something so perfect it’s hard to dismiss

and something that we’ll hold so dear

Sadly most precious things are taken for granted

as they aren’t even given a second thought

full of regret their freedom has been supplanted

by a life that was nothing more than an afterthought

Abusing this life we’re given and don’t think twice

what was precious in the beginning made you come undone

turn around and abuse others so what if it’s a life

killing others and killing ourselves what have we become?

Something that came out so pure and innocent

has grown into a human being cold and corrupt

thinks so little of others becoming so arrogant

made from love but don’t know where love went

Raise each other up while pushing each other down

push and pull, back and forth and can’t find a way

with every breath we take it seems the more we drown

doomed to fail we can’t break away from what we are in our DNA
